POLITICAL POINTS.

Congressman Willis of Kentucky, in
explaining the reduced vote in that State
at The last election, shows conclusively
that the southern bourbons cannot much
longer wave successfully the bloody shirt.
He attributes the loss to the fact that the
young men of the State bolted from the
rule of the democratic leaders and refused
longer to vote for candidates simply be-
cause they were ex-confederates.
A Washington correspondent says A
matter which has given the president con
siderable worriment, is the movement to
re-elect General Fairchild as commander
in-chief Of the Grand Army of the Re
public. On most subjects the president is
not over-sensitive, but the question of the
soldier vote is one that is giving him a
great deel of annoyance. General Fair
child's reelection would certainly mean q
most emphatic announcement of the presi-
dent, and Mr.. Cleveland is extremely aux.
ious to court the favor of the men who
fought for the preservation of the Union.
There will be no more "rebel flag" orders,
and it is intimated that next year he will
not be quite 80 handy with his pension
vetoes as he has been.

AN ADMINISTRATORS QUARREL.
The Relations of Lamont, Ex-Secretary

Washington Cor. Boston Travellerl

Even though Congress is not in session.
the administration still finds enough hot
water IN Washington to make it extreme
ly uncomfOrtaD le. The publication of the
trouble between Messrs. Lamont and
Manning, in spite of denialS AS to Its
truth, is creating a great deal of gossip
here, among those who are ON the inside
and know precisely what it means. AS a
matter of fact, there has never been any
bond of sympathy between Mr.. Manning
and the president since Mr. Cleveland's
Inauguration. The president attempted
to make Mr.. Manning mere clerk, but
he soon found out that he was undertake
ing pretty large contract. All of the
other members of the cabinet bent their
knees, but Mr.. Manning was obdurate
He is democrat of the old fashioned
kind, and Mr.. Cleveland quickly ascer-
tanned that his secretary OF the treasury

of very important questions. Things
drlfted along in this matter with the presl-
dent endeavOrlng to run all the depart
ments, as well as performing the duties of
his Office, until the fisheries dispute came
up. Mr. Cleveland and Secretary Bayard
had quietly made NJ their minds to do
nothing, when suddenly Mr.. Manning
came on the scene, and in letter to the
House of Representatives,, in answer to Il
resolution calling for information, h9
grasped the true situation, and denounced

to conceal his disgust with the attitude of
the administration-iudeed he advertised
1t to the country in his letter. From that
time the relations between the two men
were of an exceedingly strained character
Some talk is being made to the effect that
the president is doing his best to bring
about reconciliation. his object bpipp a

delegation to the democratic national con

other reason, Mr.. Manning would refuse
on account of his health, but he is dis

taken, and 1t Is safe to say that next year
he will join Mr.. Conkling and be "out of
politics." The quarrel with Col. Lamont
is mere sideshow The real light is be-

out on that line" from town to town.
OF course the bright boys and girls pull
ed through by main strength The result
of the whole system was the discourage
ment of the average and the overlooking
of the superior scholar; and the outcome
was seen in the rlghttul break down of
health, when the superior pupils reached
college. Half of my own class at Amherst
college fell by the way, and the higher
college honors too often found the boy "on

strangers. A considerable period Of train
ing is obviously necessary before even the
most intelligent dog will learn to dash off
at the word of command to the main body
of troops, which may be mile or more
away; bat if a sufficient number of dogs
can be taught to do this, there can be no
doubt that a canine messenger service will
be valuable addition to the means Of
communication upon the battlefield.

A strange accident occurred near Spring
field station Tuesday night. The mixed
train south when near that point broke in
two, and knowing that freight train
would shortly be due, the engineer ran
the head end of the train down some dis
lance, set it off and backed up to get the
two freight and passenger cars which had
broken away. The grade there is heavy
and part of the train could be set off and
the engine sent back much sooner than
the tram could be backed up. A flagman
was sent back as far as was possible for
him to 90 in the time allowed, to stop the
freight. The passengers got out of the
car aud as the engine backed up to couple
on, the other train was seen approaching.
The engine struck the coach, breaking in
the end carrying off the stack of the To-
connective and breaking in the front of the
engine. No cars were derailed and no
other damagS WAS done.

Didn't Know 1t was Loaded.

Last Sunday little son of f.. r.. Abbott
of Boltonville, near Wells River, shot his
older brother with revolver, the ball
entering the head behind the ear and lodg-
